As the main options against bench players. Both will have to live with the reality that this is Burke's team now. Favors seems to be adjusting to his role within the offense well. Kanter hit the wall 1 month into the season (not in game shape yet) and still seems kind of lost with his positioning when playing with a real point guard (Which I don't think he has ever done). In order to get big minutes he will have to 1. Work his way back into shape 2. Work that pick and pop, especially as Favors will be the one crashing the basket, and 3: find his defensive niche when playing alongside Favors. I think he can do this, so I am not extremely worried yet. I suspect that much of it rests on his conditioning, which is a bear to work yourself into once the season starts. I would suspect that some of the things I looked at previously as lingering injuries were probably tiredness and soreness from hefty workouts on top of playing a heavy schedule of games.

Burke´s team ? I remember summer league where he was bashed on a totally wrong direction, because he played garbage. Likewise he is actually hyped at the wrong direction. Burke is good, but you can find good PG´s everywhere in the NBA and I do not see Burke turning into a player at Deron Williams/Chris Paul level.
But its not easy to find Big-Man that are special in this league. Yeah Kanter and Favors where producing against 2. string guys together, but do not miss that Kanter was like 19/20 and Favors 20/21 years old, when they played like that, with less experience.

Kanter with brute strenght, footwork and elite jumpshooting ability, Favors with elite athleticism, shot blocking and sloid jump shot ability. These two playing together successfully could be something special in this league.

Hayward and Burke are very talent, especially Burke is an ice-cold player in clutch time and Hayward is working on his body well.But, I still believe that the biggest talent is inside the Utah Jazz young Big-Man.
